      Just as we all do, Kurtz at least remembers Limbaugh's "White House dog" comments.

      Not to mention that it was Palin who used her kids as props throughout her vice presidential campaign. Medved's feigned indignation over the coverage of Levi Johnston's statements is particularly ridiculous. Do you know why the press covered it, Michael? Because Johnston and Palin kept calling press conferences and going on morning news shows to bicker back and forth about their personal business. They dragged out their dirty laundry for all to see and the press covered it. Now Palin and her apologists are whining about how unfair the press was to them. Please.

      And I'm sure the teabag terrorist right-wing scum will deny that every left the Obama girls alone too:

      Conservative Free Republic blog in free speech flap after racial slurs directed at Obama children:
      "A typical street wh*re." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion."

      These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.

      The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds."
      Where is the fake outrage from O'Racist and the rest of the anti-American scum at Faux and on am Hate Radio?

        O'Reilly does not object to conservative hatred, even when directed at children. The reason for this, scientifically speaking, is that O'Reilly is a partisan punk with no redeeming qualities.

                "What racists?"

                You're saying that conservatives don't want to protect the free speech rights of racists? Aren't racists entitled to express their opinions?

                But yeah, you're right: what racists, indeed? It's not like a Tennessee state senator's aide sent out a racist cartoon about the president from a government e-mail account and only received a reprimand, right? It's not as if conservatives have been circulating a photoshopped image of Obama with a bone in his nose. Oh, and speaking of bones in noses, it's not like Glenn Beck's guest host was complaining about charity for a "guy with a bone in his nose".

          Palin Hints At Independent Conservative Movement

          Excerpts from TammyBruce.com

          Enter now Sarah Palin with very encouraging comments that lead one to believe that she is indeed planning to do what she must: build an independent conservative movement and take this nation back from the liberals which now control both parties.Thanks liberals, for provoking Sarah into the national scene while vetting that family at the same time.

          One thing I will say, the Washington Times with their headline for this exclusive interview reveal an anti-Palin stance. She is, don’t doubt, a threat to every existing political status quo.


          So Palin thinks she's gonna pull a ross perot and further split the republican party! What a loon, suggesting the current batch of reichwingers in the reichpublican party are liberals! How stupid can she get?

            That's incredible.
            Thanks liberals, for provoking Sarah into the national scene...
            Yes, we're all quivering in our Birkenstocks at the notion of conservatives gaining power by alienating everyone else on the general right and independents.

            What is the thought process here? Either those "liberals" left in the Republican party are going to stay there, and create a conflict between Republicans and conservatives that will enhance Democratic election margins, or they'll just say the hell with it and become Democrats, or they'll end up joining the conservative movement...in which case it'll be the same as it is now except with more radical leadership. Which one of these leads to regaining power?

            She's a threat to the status quo because the current system almost insures that Republicans will regain power at some point. That would change. These people are completely nuts.

      As a strident Conservative I thought I owed it to the Left to see things from their side. For the last month, I have posted more than 2 dozen responses to the "add comments" section. I haven't called anyone a name, I haven't used any foul language. Yet, I'm still not posted. Not only that, but comments you do post from the Left are more abusive and off point then anything I've written. So thanks but I guess I'll go see what's going on at the Huffington Post. Obviously your censorship of those to the Right of you is more important than actually engaging in conversation.

          There is indeed a waiting period to post on MMFA! New screen names are required to post dozens of posts until a "review" of the posts verifies the posts do not violate the terms of use. Camperdan is correct in his assessment yet you, snoopy, call him "too stupid". There is no doubt in my mind who is "too stupid" here, but I'm too committed to civil discourse to apply that moniker to snoopy!

      She (Sarah Palin) deeply resents the fact that she tried to use her family and whatever media attention she could scrape together for her own purposes and it ended up biting her on the backside.

      The idea that Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton were left alone is ridiculous on it's face, and just another example of rewriting history to serve whatever point the conservatives are trying to make.

        I don't think he believes we're too stupid to remember; I think he's preaching to the people who want to pretend that what he says is true because it's easier for them to accept that than to actually examine their own words/actions. Of course he's lying, but they will justify it to themselves by saying something like "Oh, he didn't mean ALWAYS left Chelsea alone; he was just referring to IN GENERAL they left her alone," and they will conveniently and deliberately ignore any facts to the contrary because they want to believe in their own myths. It's the rest of us that he has no respect for, those of us in the reality-based community.
